Percy's POV
The day that my relationship with Annabeth was threatened started like this:
She walked into the camp with a short dress on and heels, clearly resisting Grover who was dragging her across the grounds by her wrist. Chiron was smiling his normal, welcoming smile. Annabeth and I, arms around eachother walked over to the girl. As we got closer I could hear Chiron giving his normal interview.
"What's your name?'
"Kira." she said.
"And how old are you?"
"I'm fourteen." she tried to walk away but she ran into me and Annabeth. Instantly her eyes lit up.
"And you are?" she asked me.
"Percy, son of Poseidon." I said shaking her hand. She stared, unblinkingly at me, eyes engulfed in my presence to say the least.
"And I'm Annabeth, daughter of Athena." said Annabeth, maybe a little too loudly. She kissed my cheek, to prove her territory.
"Oh." she seemed disappointed but continued to flirt with me.
"Kira?" called Chiron, motioning her to the dining area. "Coming." she responded. She walked over to him, waving good bye to me.
Everyone's eyes seemed to go to Kira when a pink aura surrounded her. Chiron, Mr. D, and the rest of the campers started clapping, enthusiastically for her.
"You are a daughter of Aphrodite." Silena walked over to Kira and gave her a huge hug. Then she started talking really fast and excitedly to her as she was leading her to the Aphrodite cabin. Kira kept looking over her shoulder at me and Annabeth. Annabeth was fuming, so I led her back to our spot on the beach.
After a while of talking about nothing, she asked, "You won't leave me for her, will you?"
I started laughing, but her face stayed serious. i gave her a long hard kiss and said in my sexiest voice, "She is nothing compared to you. In the sea of beauty you are the water and she is a grain of sand." She seemed satisfied by that answer, and gave me a peck on the cheek. We walked to her cabin, hand-in-hand. Kira walked by, staring at us open mouthed as we kissed passionately. When we broke apart Annabeth smirked and continued to snuggle against me. I dropped her off at her cabin, still kissing. "See you tomorrow." she said and blew me a kiss as she walked into her cabin. I quickened my pace, not wanting to exceed curfew, but when I got to my cabin Kira was waiting on the steps.
"What are you doing here?" I asked her.
"Waiting for you, obviously." she started to walk towards me and pulled me close. "I know you like me." she whispered in my ear. I pushed her off and started to walk into my cabin but she jumped in front of me. "I don't like boys who play hard to get." I pushed her aside and slammed the door behind me. As soon as I locked the door I opened the window and screamed out to her, "And I don't like girls who aren't Annabeth." She walked away backwards giving me good-bye kisses. I went to bed wondering what Annabeth would think. Then again I had never seen Annabeth's bad side, maybe I would like it.
